Scar tissue after knee replacement
Joint Replacements | Last Active: Oct 10 8:31am | Replies (1550)Comment receiving replies
I had a knee replacement in April 2018 too, developed too much scar tissue despite intensive physiotherapy, had a manipulation at the end of June. The scar tissue reaccumulated again and I had an arthroscopic arthrolysis and debridment on 29th September2018. Just wondering if your scar tissue has started to reaccumulate since your arthroscopic surgery

I am interested in knowing if the arthroscopic procedure helped you, like range of motion? I was scheduled for that procedure next week but canceled because I felt my doctor wasn’t giving me much hope that I wouldn’t go back to where I am.

worried my knee won’t bend past 80 due to a mass of scar tissue under knee cap. 15 weeks post op now, i see surgeon on thursday to book manipulation. Really rubbish as l am having my other knee replaced when this one is finalised but getting nowhere fast. scar tissue has always been an issue in other surgery sites so wonder if it’s genetic x
